Have you heard the voices from invisible heights
They say I'll never go nowhere and they're probably right
Jammin at the pawn shop all fluorescent and white
Got a ziplock full of change that keep me warm at night
So they say so it goes
Now I'm shooting holes in the sky
Now I took the words from your mouth
Now I'll leave it all behind
Listen closely
He's got something to say
Give your attention
Or he won't get paid
Slack jawed hungry for a demagogue readymade tailored fall in line repeat again
Blackballed shrugging off the hammered cog steady grade failure feeling fine and beat again
Slack jawed hungry for a demagogue readymade tailored fall in line repeat again
Blackballed shrugging off the hammered cog steady grade failure feeling fine and beat again
Recalled, mugging in the phlegm and smog dead and laid railing all against the grain again
But when I fall, rugged like a junk dog, already faded trailer calls to be my home again
Have you heard the voices from invisible heights
They say I'll never go nowhere and they're probably right
Got a card trick hustle keep my wallet feeling tight
Somebody else's workshirt keeps me warm at night
The porch light is broke and the mosquitoes are thick
Got a pocket full of smoke and a fluidless Bic
Someone else's bed will always have my sheets
But there's a million good times waiting on the blanket of streets
Slack jawed hungry for a demagogue readymade tailored fall in line repeat again
Blackballed shrugging off the hammered cog steady grade failure feeling fine and beat again
Recalled, mugging in the phlegm and smog dead and laid railing all against the grain again
But when I fall, rugged like a junk dog, already faded trailer calls to be my home again
So they say so it goes
I could jump out of the window
I could walk the streets and sleep
I could wake up any minute
They say I'll never go nowhere and they're probably right
